'On the Sly' is one of the record’s most pop-forward songs. It came together in patchwork over many hours of aimless playing, resulting in a mesh of all of their respective musical impulses. The vocal melody is infectious and slippery, reminiscent of Brian Eno. “The words turned out a little sadder than intended but when we play this song I smile,” says guitarist/vocalist Eve Alpert. The surreal accompanying video, directed by Rich Smith, features the band performing while characters search for the source of a mysterious sound.
